About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

The president of the Myshko Group and one of the founding families of the Prison Institute, the "Code Family" long rider, got up and took two cups from the wine cabinet behind him, motioning for Maria to sit down and chat slowly.

"Do you prefer a stronger drink or a lighter drink?"

"No . . . I'm not old enough to drink, and I'm not here to drink and chat with you, Mr. Curd."

Maria refused the man's invitation, she put the shield in front of her body, and did not relax her guard in the slightest.

"Well, great self-restraint, Miss Linguang. Then you put so much effort to come before me, is it just to promote the chivalry spirit you uphold?"

The man smiled, but his eyes were still extremely cold and contemptuous.He put the wine glass aside and sat down at the table again, asking Maria.

"No, I'm here hoping to correct Kasimir's mistakes—"

"Wrong, very interesting statement. Miss Linguang, it seems that you are very dissatisfied with the current Casimir, but I and your thoughts are exactly the opposite. I think that the current Casimir is stronger than ever .”

The man interrupted Maria and started talking on his own.

"The prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce makes it impossible for the people of this country to only enjoy the privileges of the "knight class", and everyone has the opportunity to make a fortune. And a series of measures of the Chamber of Commerce have driven the country's economic development, and these growing economies are also To feed back the knights who guard our homeland security. Isn't this a good model?"

"...No, these are just the words of your family. The so-called prosperity is not reflected at the national level at all. These are just means for you and those families to make profits, and these so-called 'powerful' make Kasimir become Even more twisted!"

Maria shook her head heavily, she didn't believe the man's excuse at all.

If Maria had just participated in the knight competition just to revive the Linguang family, she might still be perplexed by the man's words, but after spending time with the "following knights", Maria has now After fully understanding the betrayal that Casimir was encountering, one of the culprits was the man in front of him.

"The people who should be protected have become oppressed but do not know it, and the 'vulnerable people' who should have sympathized and helped have become props for your wanton fun and abuse-such a Casimir, why are you Can you still say 'no problem' in a grand manner!?"

Maria thought of the "Noon Knights" who took pleasure in killing ordinary people. Such an existence would definitely not be an exception. In today's Casimir, how many old-school knight families can still stick to their original intentions?

"The development of anything will inevitably lead to elimination. Let those ignorant citizens, and the infected who are not even considered 'people', be sacrificed in exchange for Casimir's powerful prosperity. Such a profitless transaction, Don't you think it's good?"

The man smiled at Maria, and it was obvious that he had no regrets about what he had done.

"From the very beginning, there should be no one who is 'destined to be sacrificed'! All your views are derived from the position of vested interests. If sacrifice is inevitable, why don't you try to be the first victim?"

Maria raised her long sword and shield. There was nothing left to talk to this man. There was only one thing left for her to do: kill this guy and stop Kasimir from galloping on the wrong track.

The man noticed that Maria still didn't respond after posing for a fight, so he just sighed.

"It's such a pity, long rider of the Linguang family. I thought I could make you a new 'iconic character' to replace your stupid older sister, but it looks like there's no chance."

"My sister is not something you can judge - woo!?"

Maria didn't finish her sentence. During this period of mechanical training, she had developed a fighting instinct. She sensed the existence of something, and immediately raised her shield to protect herself.

boom! ! !

The violent impact spread outward from the shield, and Maria's whole body was slammed into the side wall by the powerful impact.

"Ahem...! What a terrifying power—you, you are a blood knight?!"

Maria coughed and got up from the ground, and then saw the true identity of the person who had just suddenly knocked her into the air—the champion of the last Casimir Knight Tournament, the 'Blood Knight' who was an infected person.

"..."

The 'Blood Knight' didn't respond, he just raised the ax in his hand and struck down on Maria without any hesitation.

"Well!"

Maria rolled sideways to avoid the attack that almost pierced the floor, but just barely set up the shield, she was immediately hit again with extreme force.

"Why help him...Mr. Blood Knight? This man has done so many cruel things to the infected!"

Maria managed to keep her posture from collapsing, while questioning the blood knight loudly.

"What do other infected people have to do with me? You and your disgusting knight theory of guarding the weak make me want to laugh out loud. The weak should be ravaged to death. This is the law of the world."

"No, there is no 'eternal strong' in this world. Isn't it ridiculous to protect others... Pooh!?"

Halfway through Maria's speech, she suddenly felt something strange in her body, and with a gesture from the blood knight, the blond young Pegasus suddenly vomited shocking blood.

"Goo... woo!"

Blood continued to flow out of her body, and Maria still had to hold on and use her shield to block the blood knight's axe.

——Is it his Originium skill?Speaking of which, in last year's competition, the Blood Knight's opponent often coughed up blood for no reason...

While covering her mouth, Maria quickly thought about the opponent's origin stone skills and attack methods.

"Just die like this, Linguang's family."

"Cough!"

With a loud noise, the shield in Maria's hand was forcibly split in two. She could only forcibly raise the knight's long sword, trying to block the second slash of the blood knight.

Boom! !

Maria was knocked into the air again, and cracks appeared in the armor on her back.

—I see...!Every time the blood knight attacks, his fingers will make a bizarre pressing action...it's the trigger!

During the third confrontation, Maria discovered the mystery of the blood knight's 'controlling blood'.

——If you look carefully, there is a small circular gap at the cut of the ax, and the handle part is two times thicker than a normal axe. There must be some kind of activation device hidden inside that thing, which can let injections and the like Things shoot out of the round hole.And the metal collision of each confrontation and the subsequent impact can perfectly cover up the trigger sound and the pain of being stabbed!

Maria was quite sure that she had understood the origin of the Blood Knight's ability to "manipulate blood". It was not an Originium skill at all, but some extremely despicable way of poisoning.

But although he noticed the opponent's mystery, the problem now is that he doesn't know what else to do.

Maria vomited blood, and the original white armor on her chest was already soaked in scarlet.

Although the amount of blood loss hadn't reached the level of affecting sight and limbs, her breathing was greatly hindered, and the blood knight's continuous attacks gave Maria no chance to adjust her breathing rate.

"Ha...ha...woo!"

Boom!

Maria was knocked away by the blood knight's ax again, and this time the knight's sword in her hand was also knocked down, completely losing the way to resist the next blow.

"Die with your childish chivalry."

The blood knight walked up to Maria and raised his ax——

"Although the chivalry she upholds is indeed childish and out of place, it's not something that scum like you can desecrate."

"—!"

The moment before the ax was struck, a middle-aged male voice came from behind the blood knight, and the latter immediately pulled back, and the ground he was standing on a second ago instantly turned into countless pieces.

"...Uncle Manna!?"

Maria, who fell to the ground, was taken aback by the identity of the person she saw in front of her.

"Stand up, Maria. The heir of the Linguang family will not fall down because of this level."

Manna raised the knight's long sword at her waist, walked to Maria and said.

"Okay... oh, uncle, why are you..."

Maria gritted her teeth, got up, picked up the long sword and repositioned herself. At the same time, she asked Marna beside her why she appeared here.

"I have always disliked your childishness, and thought that sooner or later you would stab me because of this childishness, but what I didn't expect was that you were able to win over even knight killers from the Wuxuan League... In short, before Orson helps you every time, and occasionally family members help each other."

"Uncle... Well, I got it! Mr. Blood Knight's ax is a mechanism that makes people vomit blood, so be careful not to be aimed by the mechanism of that ax."

Marina's rescue gave Maria a lot of energy. She knew very well that if she fought with Marna, who had the power to compete for the knight championship, it would not be difficult to kill the blood knight.

"Manna Linguang——you might as well be a waste with a broken leg. Your current appearance is simply ridiculous. Well, let us resolve this dispute in the way of [Knight] Bar."

After seeing Manna appear, the man stood up from the table, he untied his tie, picked up the long sword beside the chair, and walked towards the two of them.

"A half-baked competitive knight, a useless social animal, do you really think that you can defeat me, who was once the knight's competitive champion, and the previous champion Blood Knight?"

The man remained expressionless, and the Blood Knight also walked over holding the ax again.

"Since that's the case, then I, who is also a 'champion', will join the battle."

"—!?"

A bright light suddenly galloped from the outside of the building, and before everyone could react, there was a loud noise inside the office.

boom! ! !

After the strong light cleared, the former knight competition champion, "Bright Knight" Margaret Linguang appeared in the center of the crowd.

"sister!"

After seeing the familiar golden shadow, Maria shouted happily.

"Sorry, I haven't come back before, because Orson told me that I am the only one on Rhodes Island who has the status of "being able to intervene in Casimir's internal issues openly", so I have to hide my actions until the most critical moment." For a moment. Work hard, sister. You've done a good job, and...Uncle Manna."

After noticing Manna, Margaret was also taken aback for a moment. It was obvious that her impression of Manna was only at the level of "middle-aged uncle".

"..."

The three horses of the Linguang family finally met, while the long horses of the Ke De family had a serious expression on the other side.

【Orson】The frequency of this name is too high, it seems a bit too strange for a guy who was originally identified by himself as a "dwarf infected person with no opinion".

He didn't like this feeling, as if... his every move was guessed.

"Sister Margaret, use your invincible [-] volts to kill that bad guy!"

"Don't speak so cheerfully while spitting blood, it's scary, Maria...and it's not a hundred thousand volts."

Margaret sighed and raised her warhammer to give Maria a sip.

"All of a sudden, I felt a lot more relaxed, as expected of Sister Margaret!"

Accompanied by a burst of warm light, Maria's originally heavy body became much lighter.

"Save gossip for later, it's obvious what needs to be done now."

Marna stopped the posting of the two golden-haired ponies, and looked at the Blood Knight and the long cavalry of the Curd family in front of him, who were also the "root" of corruption in the Chamber of Commerce and the Prison Court.

--------

"ended!"

Keng!

The battle ax in the blood knight's hand was blown away by Margaret's war hammer, while the knight's long sword in the man's hand was shattered into two pieces under the combined attack of Manna and Maria.

"—It seems that you have won, but so what? Your actions will be defined as 'terrorist attacks', and you will not find anything you want here."

The man raised his hands. Although he was defeated by the Linguang family, the expression on his face still showed ease.
